emily jane loves: the met gala 2012

first of all, hey, hello. sadly, i had to take an extended break from blogging when i found out that my appendix had to be removed (i figured that me in a hospital gown wouldn't really count as an outfit post). but now, i'm back and ready to get back to what i love: fashion.

as you all know, the met gala was last night, and the stars came out in true form. here were some of my favorite looks from the night:



diane kruger in prada. in my eyes, diane kruger can do no wrong. i absolutely love this shade of purple- it goes perfectly with her skin tone. miss kruger also tends to wear her hair up, so i'm thrilled that she wore it down with this dress.


lily collins in valentino. this is definitely the type of dress i would eye at the store, maybe even buy without trying it on (i'm the worst) and then put it on at home only to realize it looks horrible on my body type. i love the femininity of this dress, and the bow really ties the look together.




camilla belle in ralph lauren. stunning, that's really all there is to it. the tan, the crimson lips, the hair pulled back, the plunging neckline? it just all works.


coco rocha in vintage givenchy. this look is really fun. pink and yellow are a fun combination, especially for the spring or summer. i think the met gala was the perfect place to wear this look because i probably wouldn't be caught dead wearing this outfit pretty much anywhere else.

when it came down to my favorite outfit of the night, i couldn't pick just one, so two ladies will share the spotlight:


beyonce in givenchy and carrie mulligan in prada.

i expected beyonce to look fabulous, but she took fabulous to another level with this dress. the detailing and tailoring on this dress are just perfection. she also pulled off a sheer dress in a classy way, unlike some other celebs (ahem, fergie). last, but not least, can we talk about her body? didn't she just have a baby two seconds ago?

carey mulligan. sigh. she's my girl crush. this dress makes her look like a mermaid, but in a good way. okay, either a mermaid or a disco ball, but either way, i love it. this dress also does a nice job of creating an hour glass figure on someone who has a boyish body type.
